gee whiz, Fargo is a pretty good show, eh?

We're about 4 episodes into FX's FARGO miniseries (mini-series? single series? how do these one season shows even work?)

I wasn't sure what I thought of it at first but now it's starting to come together in a very weird way.

Billy Bob Thorton and Martin Freeman are, of course, awesome but I'm really REALLY in love with Allison Tolman as Molly. She's just so great. Colin Hanks is doing well too, though any time he gets upset, I still just hear his Dad doing Woody's voice in Toy Story...

Anyone else watch this show? I didn't really hear much about it until it was over and then a few people asked if I had watched it and when I said no, they zipped their lips and walked away! Such teases!

EDIT: oh wtf, there will be a second season but no Molly??? A-screw that! She's my favorite part!

I had very similar apprehensions. I didn't understand why it should be a TV series and what the point was. But I'm almost enjoying the show more because of how much more time we get to spend with the characters.

I'm wondering if they are going to try the same schtick as American Horror Story, where it's same vibe but different setting? I only found out because I was looking up info on the actress playing Molly and it said she wasn't going to be in Season 2.

5 more eps to go!

The next season of Tru Detective will also be a brand new setting with a whole new cast, so this seems to be a thing now .... I guess.
